SNGN120712-T1 TS300 — Tungaloy indexable insert for turning, 90° geometry, 1.2 mm radius

The SNGN120712-T1 TS300 is a square carbide indexable insert designed for multidirectional turning within the AddMultiTurn system, suitable for longitudinal, facing and profile turning.

• Multidirectional turning capability
• TS300 grade for wear resistance
• Square 12 mm insert, 1.2 mm corner radius

Increased process stability for multidirectional turning

The AddMultiTurn system paired with a square 12 mm insert and 7.94 mm thickness provides a rigid cutting edge that reduces chatter and improves dimensional stability across varying cut directions. The 90° lead angle gives a strong cutting face for interrupted cuts and shoulder machining, while the absence of a central hole means clamping relies on a direct seat and robust clamp design. Together, these attributes enable consistent machining results when parts require changes in feed direction or when one tool must cover several turning operations.

Longer edge life through the TS300 grade

The Tungaloy TS300 carbide grade balances wear resistance, toughness and edge stability to extend the interval between indexing events. That combination is particularly advantageous for mixed-material batches or operations where tool changes disrupt flow. As a result, the cutting edge retains form for longer, lowering the frequency of intervention and contributing to a more predictable production rhythm while maintaining surface quality.

Geometry optimised for chip control and surface finish

The chipbreaker T1 geometry is tuned to support reliable chip formation during longitudinal, facing and profile turning, reducing the risk of built-up edge and erratic chips. With a 1.2 mm corner radius the insert offers improved edge strength for semi-finishing and finishing passes, helping to maintain roundness and feature fidelity. The 0° free angle steers the cutting mechanics toward steady contact and consistent cutting forces; correct feed direction and appropriate toolholder selection should be observed to achieve the stated performance.

Easy integration and predictable handling in the toolroom

Product integration is straightforward: the insert fits standard square pockets designed for 12 mm plates and is compatible with the AddMultiTurn holders that accept the SNGN shape and T1 chipbreaker. Labelling and traceability are clear thanks to the manufacturer and SKU identifiers, which assist inventory control and reordering. For shops seeking to consolidate tool inventories, the stable performance of this insert supports fewer variants while covering a broad range of turning tasks.

FAQ

What types of turning operations suit this insert best?
The SNGN120712-T1 TS300 insert is intended for longitudinal, facing and profile turning where multidirectional capability is required; it performs well in operations that demand a robust 90° geometry and steady chip control.

How does the TS300 grade affect tool life?
TS300 provides a balance of wear resistance and toughness, which helps the cutting edge maintain integrity under mixed cutting conditions and extends the interval between indexings compared with less resilient grades.

Is this insert compatible with holders for square 12 mm plates?
Yes — the insert is a square 12 mm plate designed to seat in standard pockets for SNGN-style inserts; ensure the holder supports the AddMultiTurn system and the T1 chipbreaker geometry.

What is the purpose of the T1 chipbreaker?
The T1 chipbreaker promotes predictable chip formation and evacuation during turning, reducing the risk of long, tangled chips and supporting consistent surface finishes during finishing and semi-finishing passes.

Are there special recommendations for clamping or mounting this insert?
Because the plate is supplied without a central hole, correct seat geometry and a secure clamp are essential; follow holder manufacturer guidelines and observe the recommended feed direction for best results.
